22
Q

A/P/R for medial rotation (angle)

A

23
Q

Normal end feel - Passive mvts = Flexion

A

Tissue approximation or tissue stretch

24
Q

Normal end feel - Passive mvts = Extension

A

Tissue stretch

25
Q

Normal end feel - Passive mvts = Abduction

A

Tissue stretch

26
Q

Normal end feel - Passive mvts = Adduction

A

Tissue approximation or tissue stretch

27
Q

Normal end feel - Passive mvts = Medial rotation

A

Tissue stretch

28
Q

Normal end feel - Passive mvts = Lateral rotation

A

Tissue stretch

29
Q

Special considerations for resisted isometric movements at the hip

A

RROM for flexion and extension of knee must be performed because two joints muscle (hamstrings and rectus femoris) act over the knee as well as the hip

30

A

125° of flexion

33
Q

Function - squatting

A

115° of flexion
20° of abduction
20° of medial rotation (internal)

34
Q

Function - ascending stairs

A

67° of flexion

35
Q

Function - descending stairs

A

36° of flexion

36
Q

Function - putting foot on opposite thigh

A

120° of flexion
20° of abduction
20° of lateral rotation (external)

37
Q

Function - putting on trousers

A

90° of flexion

38
Q

Functional tests of the hip (9)

A
  1. Squatting
  2. Going up and down stairs one at a time
  3. Crossing the legs so that the ankle of one foot rests on the knee of opposite leg
  4. Going up and down stairs two at a time
  5. Running straight ahead
  6. Running and decelerating
  7. Running and twisting
  8. One-legged hop (time, distance, power)
  9. Jumping
39
Q

Roles/objectives of the special tests (3)

A

Confirm diagnosis
Determine pathology
Support history, observation, and clinical examination

40
Q

Special test for the hip (10)

A

Faber/Fader test
Tests for labrum
Trendelenburg’s sign
Leg length test
Thomas test
Rectus femoris test (Kendal or Mod thomas)
Ober’s test
90-90 straight leg raise test
Specific muscle testing
Flexibility testing

41
Q

Trendelenburg’s test +ive indicates what

A

Glute medius diffeciency

42
Q

2 types of leg length discrepancy

A

Anatomical/structural or functional

43
Q

Fulcrum test of the hip

A

Examiner places arm under femur and carefully applies a downward force at the knee
= Test for femoral stress fracture

44
Q

Adductor squeeze test

A

Reproduction of the patient’s pain indicates a positive test for adductor pathology

45
